SKYE I took a step to the side, still with my gaze on the two of them. I knew instantly that they knew they were mates. It was apparent in the way they looked at each other. However, they didn't acknowledge it with words—as if it was no longer needed. They were mates. No questions are needed. Matthew stood up from the couch and walked over to where she was. I was right beside her, but his gaze did not deviate toward me—not even once. "Hi," he breathlessly said, an amazed smile on his face. "Good morning," Summer greeted, still with a professional voice. "Shall we start with our discussion?" Matthew cleared his throat and took a step back. "Right," he said. "You can sit over here." He sat back down on the couch and gestured toward the spot next to him, where I originally sat. "Thank you," Summer said, sitting down next to him. It shouldn't hurt like this. It really shouldn't. Especially since he already made our relationship very clear in the beginning.

KEILAH "Keilah!" Skye exclaimed, snapping me out of my thoughts. I lightly shook my head and blinked my eyes open. "Hmm?" I asked. She clicked her tongue and wrapped her arm around me. "Why are you so out of it?" she asked. "I've been calling your name for the past minute." "Sorry," I apologized. "What did you say?" "We're going out to try your wedding dresses! Aren't you excited?" "Oh," I muttered under my breath. "Right. That was today." Ever since I heard the maid's conversations the other day, I have been out of my own headspace. Of course, I'm still excited about the wedding, but there's a part of my mind that's reverted back to my insecure self. "Baby!" I suddenly heard from behind me before I felt a strong pair of arms wrap around my waist. "I'm going to try out suits today," he said. I smiled and faced him. "I'm going to try some wedding dresses too." "I wanted to come with you," he said, cupping my cheeks with his hands. "I'm sure you'd look beautiful in all th

KEILAH "There is a chance for your fiance to see once again, Alpha," the doctor said, causing me to let out a sigh of relief. After a series of tests and going back and forth to the hospital for the entire week, we finally heard some good news from the doctor. We didn't tell anyone about this yet since I didn't want to make such a big fuss if the doctor ever told me that I won't ever have the chance to see again. However, hearing him say that I do have a chance made my heart beat faster in my chest. "I can see again?" I slowly asked, still processing his last statement. "Yes," he said. "It has been seen here that there is a problem with the neurons in your occipital region, probably due to trauma. And your eyes also seem to be covered by a cloudy film, which contributes to your visual impairment. If this was a few years back, we wouldn't have had the solution to your problem. However, now that new technology has been developed, we can cure your blindness through transducer e

SKYE“I’m finally back, bitches,” I heard someone say as the front door opened.I chuckled when I saw a familiar face.I stood up from the couch and walked toward her. “Naomi,” I said, opening my arms to greet her with a hug. “I’m glad that you’re back.”“Me too, honey,” she said. “I couldn’t enjoy my vacation at all since I was so busy worrying about the wedding.”I looked behind her and frowned. “Where are the others?”“They decided to stay,” she said. “Those bastards liked the trip so much, so they opted to complete their stay there. I’m staying here, though. I still need to meet the girl that replaced me.”“Shh,” I said and held onto her hand since Summer and Matthew were literally just sitting behind us.She frowned and turned to the side so she could see.“Is that her?” she asked with raised eyebrows. “Yeah,” I muttered under my breath.She observed her with narrowed eyes before shaking her head.“I don’t like her already.”I sighed in relief. Summer gives off a really good i

KEILAH I felt my heart drop. I already had my suspicions—back when I met Miles once again. He didn't deny it nor confirm it, so I was already preparing myself in case he had already met his mate. I tilted my head to the side in confusion. "Had?" I asked. "Yes," he muttered under his breath. "I had a mate. I hope you're not mad that I didn't tell you right away." Of course, I'm disappointed that he didn't tell me about his mate, but I was more curious about what he meant by he "had" a mate."Where is she right now?" I asked. He let out a deep sigh. "She's not here anymore." I frowned. "She died," he added, causing me to let out a small gasp. "Enzo," I softly said his name. "It's okay," he said. "I'm really okay now. I wasn't for a long time, but everything changed when I met you. I thought I couldn't love another person as much as I loved her, but then you came. You changed everything for me." I held onto his hand and gave it a tight squeeze, all the disappointmen
